Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ECHO WARRIOR) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, daughter of 'Tiznow' ships from the Fair Grounds where she raced evenly at this level going a mile on the grass. Four-year-old has finished second in three of four starts on the dirt at this trip and is racing third back off several short layoffs.
2nd pick: #5 (Jade Effort) (2-1) - She disappointed here as a heavy favorite facing fellow Texas breds at this distance Jan 16. She rallied to miss by almost a length and looks next best in a small and weak group for this level.
3rd pick: #4 (Mini Ma) (4-1) - Lightly-raced, she set the pace in the same last race as 'Jade Effort' and tired to finish fourth, three lengths behind that rival. It was her first back from a three month layoff and 4-year-old should hang on better with that comebacker out of the way.
